SOAP-DELIVERY ATTACHM'E'NT FOR WATER-PIPES;

srncrrrcn'rroiv forming part of Letters Patent No. 682, dated September1901- Application filed December 261 1900. Seri N: 4 (N0 modem To allwhom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CHARLES R. WALKER, a citizen of the United States,residing at Jamestown, in the county of Stutsman and 5 State of NorthDakota, have invented a certain new and useful Soap-Delivery Attachmentfor Water-Pipes, of which the following is a specification. T

The object of this invention is the provi 1e sion of means in connectionwith water-pipes, such as are connected with the ordinary boiler used inkitchensand with an outside watersupply, whereby soap or Water mixed orimpregnated with soap may be delivered from a faucet.

My invention consists in certain novelties of construction andcombinations of parts hereinafter set forth and claimed.

The accompanying drawings illustrate an 2o example of the physicalembodiment of my invention constructed according to the best method Ihave devised for the application of the principle.

Figure 1 is a perspective View of the entire e5 appliance. Fig. 2 is asectional view of the nipple of the faucet and the parts connectedtherewith. Fig. 3 is a sectional view of the soap-chest.

Referring to the figures, the letter A designates a double-T or four-waycoupling; 13, a hot-water-supply pipe; 0, a cold-water-supply pipe; D, apipe adapted to be connected with a boiler; E, a pipe connected with acity main or other source of water-supply; 1

3 5 F, a cut-off valve of well-known construction located in thecold-water-pipe line; G, a soapchest;H, a screw plug and gasket for thetop of the chest, the top being square and having holes for theinsertion of a bar to turn the plug; 1, a pipe leading from the bottomof the soap-chest to the double-T coupling; J, a check-valve of anywell-known construction opening toward the double-T coupling; K, athree-way valve of known construction located in the hot-water line; L,a pipe leading from the three-way valve to the upper part of thesoap-chest; M, a pipe having a tapering end and secured to the double-Tcoupling; N,a nipple having a tapering end and alongitudinal passagetherein; 0, a hole through the tapered portion of the nipple; P, a nutand washer by which the nipple is to the nipple, a

I adjusted relative to the end of a pipe M, as

shown in Fig. 2 0f the drawings; R, the'n0z .zle or delivery-pipe of thefaucet; S, a casting which forms a joint with the end of the nipple; T,an enlarged space in the pipe N adjacent its union with the pipe M; T,an enlarged. space in the casting S adjacent its union with the nipple;V, a nut and washer by which the casting S is adjustably secured nd W isa. sink or other receptacle.

Parts M, N, S, and R constitute what may be called a faucet. The castingS canbe rotated about the nipple in a vertical plane and the nipplerotated about the pipe M in a horizontal plane, and by reason of theenlarged spaces T and T an open passage for water still be preserved.These movements of the parts allow the nozzle to be brought to anydesired position relative to the area of the sink. The check-valveopening downwardly prevents water from 'the double -T coupling passingupwardly to the soap-chest.

To deliver cold water from the faucet, the valve F is turned. To deliverhot water, the valve K is suitably manipulated, and to deliver soap orwater mixed with soap the valve K is turned so as to allow water to passfrom pipe B to the top of the soapchest and thence downwardly throughthe check-valve to the nozzle.

It is obvious that in practice certain modifications in construction andcombination of the parts may be introduced without constituting asubstantial departure and which will be included within the. scope ofthe claims.

What I claim, and desirc to secure by Letters Patent, is 9o 1. Thecombination in a soap-delivery attachment of a double T A; a faucetconnected to one branch of the double T; a hot-water pipe B connected toanother branch of the double T, a three-Way valve K in the pipe B; 5 acold-water pipe 0 connected to a third v branch of the double T; a valveF in pipe 0;

asoap-chest G; a pipe L joining'the soapchest and pipe B; a pipe Ileading from the soap-chest to the double T; and a check-valve mo inpipe I.

' 2. The combination in a soap-delivery attachment, of a faucet; ahot-water pipe in communication with the faucet; a three-way valve inthe hot-water pipe; acold-Water pipe 0 in communication with the faucet;a valve F in the cold-water pipe; a soap-chest G; pipe L uniting thehot-water pipe and the soapchest; and a pipe I havinga check-valveleading from the soap-chest to the faucet.

3. The combination in a soap-delivery attachment, of a double TA; hotand cold water supply pipes united to the double T; a faucet incommunication with the hot and cold Water pipes by Way of the double T;a soap-chest; and means for passingwaterfrom one of the pipes throughthe soap-chest to the faucet.

4:. The combination in a soap-delivery attachment, of a water-supplypipe; a threeway valve in the water-pipe; a soap-chest; a faucet; a pipeuniting the three-Way valve and the soap-chest; and a pipe leading fromthe soap-chest to the faucet.

5. The combination in a soap-delivery attachment, of a faucet; a.hot-Water pipe; a cold-water pipe; a three-way valve K in. one of thepipes; a valve F in the other pipe; a soap-chest; a pipe leading fromvalve K to the soap-chest; and a pipe leading from the soap-chest to thefaucet.

6. The combination in a soap-delivery at ing in communication withnozzle R.

7. The combination in a soap-delivery attachment; of a faucet 5' ahot-water pipe; a cold-water pipe; a soap-chest; a pipe leading from oneof the water-pipes to the soap-chest a cut-off in the other pipe; and apipe leading from the soap-chest to the faucet.

8. The combination in a soap-delivery attachment, of a water-supplypipe; a faucet in communication With said Watersupply pipe; asoap-chest; a pipe leading from the water=su pply pipe directly to thesoap-chest; a pipe leading'from the soap-chest to the fancet; and meansinconnection with the pipes for transmitting water from the water-supplypipe through the soap-chest to the faucet.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

CHARLES R. WALKER.
